Default Getting Pumped Up - Windshield Washers

Anyone have any sage advise in coaxing a long dormant windshiled washer system to working condition? I have replaced the hoses and the diaphram with the rebuild kit can still cannot get the system functional. Ideas?

Any tips on priming?

Car is an early 66 with otherwise orginal components.

Did you intend to put this in the C5 Tech section?

Nope. I adjusted fire over to the C2 section but couldn't figure out how to recall/delete this one. Expect all the C5 types reading it would simply chalk it up to a dumb *** newbie.

Clean out/replace the nozzles. Mineral buildup. (The reason I've been using nothing but distilled water mix for years)
